An Introduction

Hello, readers! My name is Sarah, and this blog is going to be all about my adventures into a semi-crunchy lifestyle. To quickly introduce myself, I am an early-20-something mama to one awesome toddler, Gabriel, and I am engaged to the love of my forever, Grey. We live in eastern North Carolina, not 20 minutes from the coast. We are a low income family, and so a lot of what I post here will be about my escapades into trying to live frugally. We are lucky enough to inherit a beautiful home, and our parents are extremely helpful in keeping us afloat when we need the help. We try to stay conscious of our effect on the planet, so we are not only frugal but also try to be eco-friendly as well. Eating as much organically as possible and eating whole foods rather than processed, prepackaged stuff is also important to us. I am hoping to share some deliciously simple and cheap-to-make recipes with y'all as I try and perfect them. I am not by any definition of the word a 'chef', but I try my best!

My personal take on the word "crunchy" is one of fondness. It simply means to me that someone is conscious of the natural and healthy ways of living, and implements those techniques whether it is socially acceptable or not. As of right now, I am in an in between stage between the conventional and the unconventional, hence the blog's name. So follow me on my journey along the path to all that is crunchy, and I hope you also learn a few things along the way!
